Sangeet: Jab Dono Families Pehli Baar Ek Stage Par Aati Hain
Sangeet ki beauty yeh hai: yeh pehla event hai jahan bride's family aur groom's family ek saath celebrate karte hain — without the formal weight of the wedding ceremony.
Is raat ko dono families ek doosre ko jaanti hain. Embarrassing performances hoti hain. Bade relatives gaate hain. Dance floor par bachche aur dadaji saath hote hain.
Yahi Sangeet ka magic hai.
